My husband is the King of Too Much Information when it comes to our kids. I like to keep our kids informed also, but know when to stop.
So one day we are on the subject of getting physicals and BN somehow blurts out that at 40 years old, men get a rectal exam.
Pete: A rectal exam?
BN: Yes, they stick a finger up your butt.
Pete: OMG, that will hurt. No way am I getting that done.
and round and round they went.
Two days ago, Pete comes out of the bathroom, face all concerned and asks,
Pete: Mom, is a doctor really going to stick their finger all the way up my butt?
Me: (I’m gonna kill BN) Yes, a doctor, with a glove on his hand, will insert his finger in your anus as part of your exam.
Pete: Well, that will hurt too much. Not gonna get it done.
Me: That’ll be up to you. But it’s part of a regular checkup at that age and most think it is necessary. It won’t hurt too much if at all anyway.
Pete: Well, I just tried it and I couldn’t get my finger in there.
Me: You did scrub your hands when you were done, right?
(word of caution: DO NOT TOUCH THE NAIL BRUSH IN OUR GUEST BATH)

My dad’s proctologist? Dr. Butt. No lie.
Purell at R’s house, stat!
::snork::
You do know why some people become Proctologists, right?
It’s because they get really attached to the people they went to school with. They miss them.
Then, they decide that becoming a Proctologist is a great way to look up old friends.
Oh Pete – hahahahaha. Why did I see that coming? Bless his little heart and stinky finger.
ROFLMAO!! It’s a REALLY good thing BN didn’t mention lubricant.
Oh goodness. I could see that coming, but it’s still funny. That’s one to retell around the dinner table when he’s a teen.
Speaking of TMI…..
Oh. My. Gawd. Is this payback for the reusable tp thread?
oh that pete. he has his finger on the pulse of the nation …
And to think my kids may have used that bathroom today….oh boy!
Had to come back and tell you…
I read your post to my family. (I have a sharing heart.)
My son (21 now) came out of the bathroom last night and said, “Hey, everyone. Don’t use the nail brush in the bathroom. I’ll pick up a new one at the store.”
He gets his sense of humor? from his father.
Oh how funny. That is a boy for you, always testing the theory. Love the comments too, very funny people.
